Pedestrian Safety Demonstration Project Coming in July
A temporary pedestrian safety demonstration project will be installed along Route 1 near Hannaford Drive and Little Dolphin Plaza at the end of the month. This project is part of a regional Vision Zero safety initiative led by the Portland Area Comprehensive Transportation System (PACTS) and Greater Portland Council of Governments (GPCOG). The project will test median refuge islands and enhanced crosswalk treatments designed to improve pedestrian safety at a location with a history of serious crashes and no existing pedestrian crossing. The installation is currently planned for the week of June 29th, with work occurring between approximately 4:30am and 6:30am to minimize traffic impacts.
